The secret, he said, is finding the right
apps to run on the device. Instead of finding movie players like VLC or
MXPlayer, he chose the relatively obscure QQ Player from Google Play.

That's because most movie players rely on a
device's GPU to decode the video, which would crash Android Wear immediately.
Software decoding apps work just fine, as Davenport's YouTube video shows.

It's not the first time that Davenport has
got his hands dirty with Android Wear. If you remember the videos of
Windows 95, Doom and Minecraft running on Google-based smartwatches, that was all his
handiwork too.
